"It's something we wanted to do to bring awareness to a horrible, horrible disease that affects so many people's lives," Sami Logan told the Press-Enterprise. "This was our way to pay respect to our mothers, others who have lost their fight with breast cancer and those still battling it."

To make the breast cancer memorial play possible, Sami Logan had to participate in two full weeks of full pad practices to be eligible to play. Coach Logan made sure that his daughter fulfilled that requirement, though he limited her to only three plays to learn to keep from over-complicating her exposure to the playbook.

Before the game started, Matt Logan approached Roosevelt's coaches and let them know that Sami might come into the game to honor her mother. The Roosevelt coaches were more than OK with that idea.

In the week leading up to the game, both players admitted being excited and nervous about the play. Then, when Sami Logan finally trotted into the game, both knew it was time to go.
